[KINNAN TI ANAY daytoy paset ti journalko]

Maysa nga urat [sugat]……ti biag iti pannakayadayo kadagiti patpatgen iti biag. Saan nga awan ti lua sakbay ken kalpasan ti panagpipinnakada. Uray no adda talged ken kari iti ipapanaw, kasla dakkel nga awang ti nagbaetan iti pannakayadayo. Saan nga awan ti liday, segga ken iliw iti disso a napanawan iti kailokuan, dagiti nakairuaman a buya ti nakaparsuaan, gagayyem ken ipatpateg.


Di mailibak ti nalawa ken nawatiwat a nagbaetan a baybay. Di malibak ti saem ti panagmaymaysak; di mailibak a narigat nga iruam ti bagi ken sursuruen ti makilangen iti kabarbaro nga aglawlaw. Mabalin a kunaen a baro a pannakipasngay daytoy ta agdadamoka wenno ita laeng a mamulagatan ti lawag ti sinamar ti init nga inayam, ngem biddut met ngarud no ibaga a kasta, ta naimbag pay ti kaippasngay a maladaga ta inosente wenno awan pay ti ammona iti banag iti aglawlawna.

Nasakit a kinapudno ta kabarbaro a lugar, agbalinka a ganggannaet ken masmasdaaw ket awan sabali nga aramiden no di ti agpalpaliiw kadagiti nasangpetan a kababalin. Narigat ti magna iti di nakairuaman a dalan. Dagitoy ti mariknak idi kadagiti immuna nga aldawko ditoy daga nga aw-awaganda iti “Isla Ti Paraiso”.

Ngem makaay-ayo met dagiti binatog ni Mark Twain [Samuel Clemens] iti panangiladawanna: "Hawaii as a cradle of beauty and happiness - a paradise" Wen, ti Hawaii a "Crossroad of the Pacific", sabali pay a nagan: "Melting Pot of the Pacific"; Aloha State ken the 50th State" Mangrugin a desdesak ti dalan ti kaikarian toy anak ti Tapao - maysa nga ambisioso, tawataw kadagiti adu a panagbirok....

Naisadsadak iti plantasion ti kaunasan. Dua a doliar ti maysa nga oras ti sueldo. Naigamerak iti nadumaduma a puli.Tudo, saniit ti init, lutlot ken kapitakan—adda man mabati a tugot wenno awan—maysa daytoy a panagsawar ken panangipasdek ti kaikarian - kas apoko, wenno saringit ti sakada - magna dagiti saka a Kayumanggi [kas ken ni Cartaphilus[Wandering Jew] - dagiti panagsawar: Siak wenno sika, agballigi ken dumur-as wenno mapaay - agpapadatayo a ganggannaet ken imigrante: umay met makipagindeg iti maikadua a taeng: saantayo a pulos naitugot ti umuna a taeng, ngem patiek, ket patiek unay, adda naitugottayo a kababalin, galad, dagiti balor ken kannawidan ni Ilokano: nagaget, naandur, natiped, ken saan a nalaka a maupay.
